<H1>Why I am interested in Indian Classical Music</H1>

I am primarily interested in the mathematical and theoretical aspects
of Indian Classical music.  In particular, I am <EM>not</EM> interested
in the aesthetic, lyrical, religious, spiritual or social aspects of
music, dance or drama---however exciting or relevant they may be.<P>

My knowledge of Indian music comes from reading books and listening to
the performances of the master (and the not-so-masterful) practitioners
of the art.  I occasionally post my brand of <EM>wisdom</EM> to the
Usenet newsgroup
<!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><!WA0><A HREF="news:rec.music.indian.classical">rec.music.indian.classical</A>.

Links to some of my (posted and unposted) articles (in an updated and
reformatted form) can be found below.  You should note that I (have at
least tried to) rigorously use my own

unless you are familiar with the transliteration.<P>

I welcome comments, criticisms and suggestions, especially regarding
the contents of the articles.  Send all communication to
